peixe

Explanation:
Apesar de já ter fechado a pergunta, gostaria de dar a minha opinião:
fin·fish (fĭn'fĭsh')
n.
An aquatic vertebrate of the superclass Pisces.http://www.answers.com/finfish?gwp=12&method=2

Se procurarmos em Português a superclasse Pisces, vemos que corresponde aos peixes, assim vulgarmente chamados. Nós não dizemos peixes de barbatana (9 ocorrências no Google...) para distinguir do marisco. Nós chamamos marisco a uns e peixes a outros e os falantes de língua inglesa chamam finfish a uns e shellfish a outros.

CARACTERISTICAS GERAIS DOS PEIXES
Zoologicamente, os peixes incluem-se na superclasse Pisces, que tem como característica a presença de nadadeiras pares, brânquias e escamas

Os peixes são animais aquáticos que pertencem a Superclasse Pisces, Subfilo Vertebrata, filo Chordata.
